It was the last week of January when Sally Pender noticed an unusual shooting pain at the back of her neck. With sensitive skin, the 62-year-old assumed she was having an acute allergic reaction to something. But 48 hours later, her neck was red raw, with clumps of tiny, angry blisters. Sally had shingles, a painful viral infection. “I have never, ever felt this way before,” she tells 7Life of her lengthy recovery. “It was this persistent and spiking pain.
“It was persistent and stinging,” she says. This time when her husband examined her neck, he was shocked at the rapid and remarkable change. The seemingly harmless rash had turned red and was covered with puss-filled blisters. “There were two lines that had these little blisters all over the back of my neck,” she describes. As a nurse, Sally knew it was shingles. The next day, she went to her GP, who confirmed her suspicions and gave her a course of antiviral medication.
